South Korea gives up a political crisis to another

South Korea has become a case study on how prosperous democracy can suddenly turn into a constitutional crisis, and there is no end on the horizon.

Over the past five months, the country has been managed by three different presidents on behalf of its vicious leader and Removed To suddenly declare martial laws in late last year.

But as the country is ready to elect a new president on June 3, citizens who hope to see stability face more uncertainty. There are already doubts about whether the first stage will be allowed, Lee Jay Meong of the Democratic Party, or to end his mandate if he wins.

In addition, Han Dac Soo, from Stem As prime minister and prosecutor on Thursday, a presidential offer announced on Friday. But it needs to secure the support of the People’s Power Party to get a chance to succeed, and this party is currently considering its candidate.

Mr. Han from the position of believers No. 2 in the government of former President Yun Suk Yol, who was isolated for his short -term imposition on martial law and is being tried for rebellion. However, Mr. Han said he is the best person to end the political polarization that paralyzed the governance of South Korea and exchanged what he called “the tariff” from US President Trump.

“I decided to find what I can do for the future of my beloved country,” said Mr. Han. “I will do my best to choose myself by people in the elections.”

It remains doubtful if he can. Opinion polls in recent weeks ask the South Koreans who preferred as the next president, Mr. Han has shown in second or third place behind Mr. Lee.

When the Power Party chooses for the people of Mr. Yoon its presidential candidate on Saturday, his leadership wants the candidate to negotiate with Mr. Han until only one of them nominates to increase their chances against Mr. Lee.

“There is a ongoing systematic plot to shake the scene for the presidential elections,” Chan Die, the campaign director, told Mr. Lee.

Mr. Yoon’s long confrontation with the Democratic Party, which took control of the National Assembly, was crowned by sending the forces to the legislative body on December 3. The Democratic Party led the association to isolate Mr. Yun on December 14th, despite the resistance of his party.

Since then, the boycott has been divided strongly and on a fun driving.

The Democratic Party used its parliamentary majority to advance the bills through the association. But when Mr. Han, the first prosecutor, objected to them, he was also removed, and Finance Minister Choi Sang Mocou put the official. When the country’s constitutional court canceled the accountability of Mr. Han, Return As a prosecutor.

On Thursday, the southern Koreans saw a faster game of music chairs.

After Mr. Han resigned as a prosecutor to prepare his presidential offer, Mr. Choi was appointed to decline. But after Mr. Choi learned that the Democratic Party was about to remove him as well, he resigned from the government. This left the task of representation, President of Lee Joe, who is the Minister of Education without any background in diplomatic or commercial issues.

“People wished their country to cool down by removing the president soon and new elections are holding,” said Kang Won Tayek, a professor of political science at Seoul National University. “Now their concern is only.”

Mr. Li Li, the Democratic Party, seemed ready to become the next elected president. Then the Supreme Court dropped a bomb.

On Thursday, he canceled a lower judgment than the court that acquired Mr. Lee by violating the election laws. The case was returned to the minimum court to re -trial, saying that she considers Mr. Lee a guilty.

Mr. Lee presidential hopes now depend on the type of punishment that he will obtain if he is convicted of re -trial. A fine of more than $ 700 would exclude him as a presidential candidate. Mr. Lee pledged to continue his campaign, confident that he would not be officially convicted before the elections.

Now other disturbing questions arose: Can the court continue the trial even if the master was elected? What if I condemn? Mr. Lee faces many other criminal trials, which he said is designed by Mr. Yun.

The South Korean constitution says that the president “will not be accused of a criminal crime during his term except for rebellion or treason.” But he does not specify whether the president should continue to try on charges of submitting it before his election. This means that even if Mr. Lee is elected, his presidency may be affected by how to explain the Constitutional Court of the Constitution.

On Friday, Mr. Han said that he will work to complete a constitutional reform within three years and step down so that the country can hold its presidential and parliamentary elections at the same time in 2028 under a new constitution.

Mr. Lee also pledged to end the alleged battles course.

But a month after the elections, it is not certain after that.
